u Opportunity Financial Element

he Financial Element of Plan 2050 identifies a prudent, fiscally constrained approach to financing the $120 Billion of needed transportation projects, programs, and investments called for over the next 30 years. It also identifies what could be accomplished with additional funding under an TAspirational Scenario, and the challenges of a more constrained Limited Scenario, which meets repair and maintenance needs but cannot address the anticipated long-term transportation needs of the NJTPA region.
